The 46th Blue Dragon Film Awards on November 19, 2025, became a hot topic for more than just its award winners. Two pairs of stars, Hwasa and Park Jung Min, and YoonA and Lee Junho, set the internet abuzz with speculation about their relationships following their interactions at the ceremony.
Hwasa and Park Jung Min’s Electrifying Stage Duet
A performance that was meant to be a musical interlude quickly turned into one of the most talked-about moments of the night. Singer Hwasa performed her song “Good Goodbye,” which features actor Park Jung Min in its music video. Park Jung Min made a surprise appearance on stage during the song, holding a pair of red heels.
The duo’s chemistry was palpable, captivating the audience and viewers at home. Actresses in the front row were filmed covering their mouths in excitement, reacting to a performance that many fans described as more thrilling than a romance movie. The tension built as Park Jung Min watched Hwasa’s singing and dancing with a calm intensity before surprising everyone with a dance break at the finale. The moment ended on a humorous note when he shouted, “Take your shoes!” lightening the previously romantic atmosphere.
The impact of this performance was immediate and significant. The next day, Hwasa’s “Good Goodbye,” which had been released a month prior, shot back to the number one spot on several major Korean music charts, including Melon TOP100. The official fancam of the performance from the Blue Dragon YouTube channel saw a sharp rise in views, and a reaction video featuring fellow actors quickly amassed over 700,000 views.
Online communities were flooded with reactions. One netizen commented, “The actresses’ reactions are literally my reactions,” while another directly said, “Park Jung Min and Hwasa should date already.” The performance also led to calls for Park Jung Min to star in a romance film or drama.
Behind-the-Scenes Moment Fuels Speculation
Further fueling the dating rumors, a backstage clip from before the performance went viral. The footage showed Park Jung Min taking what fans humorously called a “walk of embarrassment” as he made his way to the stage. The video captured him randomly stopping to shake actor Ahn Bo Hyun‘s hand, a moment that made Girls’ Generation’s YoonA, who was sitting nearby, burst out laughing. This endearing behind-the-scenes glimpse showed a nervous yet determined Park Jung Min, endearing him further to the public.
YoonA and Lee Junho’s “Longing Glances” Stir Rumors
In a separate but parallel story, another pair was causing a stir among fans. YoonA of Girls’ Generation and 2PM‘s Lee Junho, who starred together in the popular drama King the Land, found themselves at the center of renewed dating rumors. The speculation ignited when Lee Junho took the stage as a presenter.
Eagle-eyed fans noticed that as he spoke on stage, he seemed to glance into the audience with what many interpreted as “longing eyes.” When the camera then cut to YoonA clapping in the crowd, social media users were quick to assume he was looking directly at her. Clips of the moment were widely shared online with captions questioning who he was looking at.
This single glance was enough to reignite long-standing dating rumors between the two co-stars. The buzz had grown so loud after their drama aired that both of their agencies, SM Entertainment and JYP Entertainment, had previously issued statements clarifying that YoonA and Lee Junho are just close friends. Despite the official denials, fans at the Blue Dragon Awards were thrilled by their reunion, and the moment quickly became a major topic on fan communities and social media platforms.
